Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Converting Telegraphic Code Figures into Telegraphic Words, and vice versa.
Inventor: REHDER MARTIN WILHELM
IPC: G09C1/04
Filed: 1912-04-18
Granted: 1913-01-16
Abstract: 9195. Rehder, M. W., and Voigtsberger, A. W. C. April 18. Codes. - An apparatus for converting telegraphic code figures into words, and vice versa, comprises a casing a having a series of slots I, II, IV, VI, VII behind each of which slides a plate c carrying numerals and letters in front and a number of teeth behind. The plates c are moved bv means of knobs b, projecting through the slots I, II, IV, VI, VII, to expose any pair of letters and numerals through windows d, e, f, g, h, i, k. Certain of the windows are adapted to be obscured by projections on a slide s, which can be moved into three positions and also to be partly obscured by cross-slides s, t, u. The teeth under the plates c engage a toothed roller m which carries at one end three figures 0, 1, 2 on a cylinder n. The plates c behind the windows d, f and those behind the windows h, k are respectively connected together. In use, the plates c are moved to reveal the numerals to be codified at the windows d, e, g, h, i respectively. A spring v holds the roller m so that it is turned by the movement of any one plate c without touching the other plates. One of the numerals 0, 1, 2 is thus eventually revealed at a window w, and the knob p of the slide o is adjusted opposite the same numeral near the slot r, thus covering- over certain and revealing others of the windows d, f, h, k, and so altering the sequence of the consonant-vowel arrangement of the word. A reversal of the process serves for decodifying. Two apparatus such as the above may be combined together, a second roller turning at onethird the rate of the roller m giving a second numeral to which the second knob p is adjusted.

Abstract: 16,040. Bally, J. July 11, 1911, [Convention date]. Inductor furnaces.-A number of vertical or inclined channels 1, formed in a refractory body 2, are connected by conduits or by solid pieces at the top and bottom so that the contents form the short-circuited armature of a multipolar rotating magnetic inductor 4, driven by a shaft 5. The channels 1 are surrounded by a magnetizable frame consisting of plates 6 mounted on bolts 19<a>. The plates 6 may be dished, as shown, and may be cooled by a current of air or other fluid. The channels 1 may taper downwards as shown, and two of them may be made wider than the rest to form working chambers. In other forms, some or all of the channels may be flared at the top. The furnace has a metal top, base, and walls, which, together with the magnetizable frame, may be erected first, and the refractory material 2 then filled in, the channels being formed by metal cores which serve as conductors for a preliminary heating of the refractory material and are then melted out. The cover may have holes at the outer surface of the magnetizable frame, which may be closed by dampers 18. The conduits connecting the channels 1 at the top may be beneath the surface, in which case the channels may be closed by plugs lined with refractory material, or may be surface gutters. All the channels may be connected by circular conduits at the top and bottom. One of the channels may be formed with a spout, and the furnace may be supported on three hydraulic pistons by which it may be raised or tilted. The furnace may be surmounted by a chimney 20, preferably made in two parts, the lower of which may be raised when it is desired to tilt the furnace. The furnace may be arranged for polyphase working, all the shafts of one phase being connected by conduits lying in one or more planes to form a closed circuit, one point of each circuit being connected to a common working chamber.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Safety Devices for use in Controlling Power Engines, Turbines or the like.
Inventor: GAGG ANTON
IPC: F01D21/02
Filed: 1912-12-06
Granted: 1913-10-30
Abstract: 28,196. Gagg, A. Feb. 9, [Convention date]. Stop-gear.-Relates to safety devices for controlling power engines, turbines, &c., and consists of stop-gear controlled by liquid under pressure. In the form shown, liquid under pressure from the pipe 5 fills the space below the piston 13 and flows through the aperture 12 to the space above the piston. The liquid above the piston may pass to the exhaust 7 through the central bore 11 past the valve 10 controlled by the governor 8, the arrangement being such that the piston rises or falls under the control of the governor, and so allows the liquid under pressure to flow either from a cylinder 2 to the exhaust 7 or from the pipe 5 to the cylinder 2, in which slides a piston 3 connected to the inlet element of the engine. In order to close the inlet element when the pressure of the liquid exceeds a certain maximum limit or falls below a certain minimum, a piston valve 14 is pressed in one direction by a spring 16 and in the other by the liquid. Normally, liquid cannot pass through the valve, but when the pressure exceeds the maximum or falls below the minimum, the valve slides and allows the liquid to pass through apertures in the valve to the upper side of the piston 13, which is thereby depressed to allow the liquid under pressure to move the piston 3 to close the inlet element of the engine and so to stop it. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also a modification in which the liquid acts on a spring-pressed piston so that it operates through mechanical agency to close the inlet element of the engine when at least one given pressure limit is passed. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
